We hope your day is filled with joy and remembrance of the greatest gift of all, God giving his Son to become human and live on this earth. May we not get lost in the glitzy wrapping paper and lose sight of an eternal perspective.
It is hard to believe that last year at this time on Christmas Day we were in the pediatric ER in Winston-Salem and Sara ended up staying in the hospital for a week. We are blessed with God's provision and Sara's now great health with an edited diet.
We woke up to Kacy informing us that Santa had brought her a dollhouse and Sara a baby doll. She was quite excited. Sara pattered in right behind her. The difference was that Sara was still mostly asleep and wanted to climb in bed with Mommy & Daddy to sleep some more. However, she overcame her sleepiness when she went outside to check out the tree and Santa's gifts.
Stockings were the first order of business...
This dollhouse is huge! It's taller than Kacy or Sara.
Kacy picked out a very special bouquet of flowers for Mommy. She chose the paper, bow and flowers totally herself, with a small amount of guidance by her Daddy. The truth is that she didn't really agree with some of Daddy's recommendations and did her own thing anyway... :) She was very proud of her gift and rightfully so...they were very beautiful.
Sara really didn't remember any of this from last year so this whole wrapping paper and gift thing was pretty cool.
A big hit was the flying fish game. The fish plays music and blows paper "fish" out of the tube and the kids have to catch them with the nets. They absolutely love this game.
And Kacy led Sara in proper photo posing during breakfast.
Then we had the opportunity to chat with our families on the computer.
So far, so good. It has been fun. Now off to dinner and more games with friends and family that are still around.
